Networked Organization Software

Why is implementing self-management in your organization so important?

Operationalizing a self-managed work environment takes effort. When people are free to negotiate their individual roles and responsibilities, define their meaning, and measure their progress, it’s important that they have the tools available to leverage and communicate those efforts.

OpenColleague software is designed to provide those tools. For individuals navigating a self-organizing ocean of responsibility, OpenColleague allows them to set sail in a clear direction with specific, negotiable rules of engagement.

The multi-tiered open architecture allows participants to identify with any logical entity within an organization (department, division, company, location, project) and then define the specific process and sub-process accountabilities for which they take responsibility, subject to peer review.

Explicit decision rights and flexible, transparent KPI accountability combine with visual organizational network and process mapping tools to create a map of the dynamic organizational topography for users at any point in time.
